Sleazy Sunday: Crazy From The Heat

You may have noticed the lack of Sleazy Sundays these days but you’ll excuse me since I’m spending quite a lot of time on the beach and away from internet plus the heat is distracting me from writing. 🙂 Anyway, let’s go!

Steel Panther were in the news again for controversy. They have a new guitar pedal available called the “Pussy Melter” and certain groups found it offensive. The band is continuing to release it. It was at the Fear The Riff expo today. It’ll be available up til October 1st.
